Bianca Belair began her WWE career by performing in the Mae Young Classic Tournament before she got signed to NXT. She didn’t get the chance to become a top star on NXT as Vince McMahon called her up to the main roster in no time but then the pandemic happened and that debut was something that left her getting worried. Down the road, those audience-less shows didn’t affect her career.
Despite the bump at the beginning of the road, Bianca Belair is going strong and her caliber only makes us believe that she will leave her own legacy in the company. This does come with some major accomplishments and one of those has already been achieved.

The EST of WWE kicked things off in a big way on the main roster by winning the 2021 Royal Rumble which also allowed her to become the Smackdown Women’s Champion at WrestleMania 37. A year later, she won the RAW Women’s Championship and she’s still holding that belt. She then beat Sasha Banks for the Smackdown Women’s Championship and then Becky Lynch for the red brand belt that led her into a record-making title reign.

Bianca Belair is on her way to becoming one of the all-time greats
The statistics show that Bianca Belair recently crossed Sasha Banks’ milestone in the WWE to be a champion for 273 days as the Women’s Champion in a combined way. It took six reigns for Banks to reach this 273-day landmark, while her WrestleMania 37 opponent took only two reigns to surpass her.
Bianca Belair will obviously hold the RAW Women’s title for some more days and thus she will thus surpass Ronda Rousey’s milestone of 286 combined days over her two reigns. At this point, the reigning champion isn’t booked to defend her title and it’s likely that she’ll have a long reign. With that, she’ll be on her way to becoming one of the all-time greats in WWE history.
As noted above, Bianca Belair made her main roster debut at a time when WWE was dealing with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic when there was no live audience. While speaking on The Ringer’s MackMania Podcast, she talked about how uncertainties took her over during that time,
“I was worried about that. I was like, ‘how can I get people to know who I am and how can I get them to feel?’ Because my thing is, I don’t want people just to watch me, watch me perform. I want to make them feel and connect with me, and I had to do that for about a year with no one.” (Quotes courtesy Wrestling Inc)
